COURTING UNDUE". DIFFICULTIES.
Kate Blake was the only daughter of
Jacob Blake, the old miser of West,
Brook.
She was more than uncommonly pret
ty, and her frank, - engaging manners
enhanced the chums - •of golden hair,
,pearly teeth, and eyes like the blue skies
of - summer. • At her father's death she
would he heiress to the nice little sum of
Seventy thousand dollars ; and though
..ettgenerally pretend not to be influ
enced by pecuniary matters in affairs of
love, it is to be reasonably supposed that
this prospective wealth by no means les
sened the number, of her adorers.
- Ainong those most ardent. and per
, ips 'most sincere, was Will Dartmouth,
with a heart larger than his purse, and
very- little thought or care for conse
quences. , ,
Fortunately, old Jacob never suspect
ed the partiality of his daughter for
Will; he would have put her on bread
and water before he would have consen
ted to the slightest degree of intimacy
with Will Dartmouth.
'Jacob Blake was not in favor of mar
riage. Those -who knew his circum
stances were not surprised at this—for,
to use a phrase more expressive than el
egant, Mrs. Blake was a regular Tartar,
with temper enough for two.Tarters.
_Old Jacob had to "walk spanish" for
the most part, or suffer the consequences;
which usually descended on" his head,,
in ,the shape of any domestic utensil ,
which happened to be lying around
handy. •
• A maiden sister of Mr. Blake resided
in the family, whose principal business
seemed to be to net as a sort of echo to
her 'brother and his wife. Whatever
they thought she thought too. . .
- She regarded it as d primary sin for
Katie to associate with the young men,
and this -doctrine was perseveringly
drilled into her niece, who, though she
never dissented, had her own ideas on
the subject. -
One day Mr. Blake and his wife went
to Dedham to attend - a -fair, and Miss
Peggie being at a friend's, Katie was left
alone:- Will Dartmouth in some way
learned the condition of affairs, and ear
ly-in the afternoon he' went over to keep •
Katie company. - • - -
As her parents were not expected
home until the next day, and Peggy not
till late - in the evening, Will . felt per
fectly secure in stopping awhile after:
supper ; and he and Katie were having
a jolly-time popping corn in the old
fashioned frying pan; over the huge
wood • fire, when there - Was a sound •of
voices at the door.
' "Gbod gracious!" cried Katie, turning
white with alarm, "that is Aunt Peg
gy. ' Oh, Will, what shall we do? She
will scold me•to death; and father will
be furious.' Get under the lounge ! be
quick ! Oh, Will do, for my -sake?"
' Will could not stand the pleading in
Katie's eyes, and he deposited himself
in the designated spot.
- Katie put out the light, and ' darting
into 'an adjacent bed-room,' in a moment
was apparently asleep. _
Peggy's voice was heard speaking
softly in the entry.
, " Be careful, Mr. Pike. There's a
loose board there. I on't want to dis
turb my niece. Soft y—it may creak."
'Peggy, dearl wh re are you ?" re-
sponden the squ.Whi voice of Esquire
Pike, wi,lt,s\ er of a year. - 4 'l - Can't - tell
which way you've gone." -
"There, Daniel, be easy. Good heav
ens! Daniel Pike, well, I never!" and
a report burst op the air like uncorking
a champaign bottle. -
' " Oh, - rimy," cried Aunt Peggy, "what
would brother Jacob say? .1 declare, I
boa:et been kissed by a man since--L"
"Let Jake mind his own business!"
retorted the Squire. You and I can take
care nf ours without his help ;" and
there followed a report something simi
lar to the - first, only more of it.
' "" Do - be quiet, Daniel, and let me get
a light. "Set right down there before the
lire and makeyourself at home."
- • A light was soon procured. Peggy
divested herself of her wrappings, and
blushing like a girl in her teens she Sat
down oppositelhe Squire. •
" It's a fine evening," said Peggy, by
the way of opening the conversation.
- , " Very," replied the Squire, drawing
his chair close to hers, and laying his
arm overthe back.
" Oh; good gracious ! Daniel, don't set
quite 'so nigh me. I— hat -is, I don't
-consider it -strictly proffer. Mercy !—
what was that ?" ;,
I , ,
~ .Both, listened attentively. - ,
._, "It was the wind rattling the win-•
doW, I- guess," said the Squire. " Don't
• yotr_go to getting so nervous, Peggy."
- I thought it was our Katie waking
up: •-Ati'd• if she should, I never should
heaxthe last of it."
--- "-Hark !. There is a noise—l ~
• "Gracious arth! it's bells. Its Jake
and 'mutt coming back! What shall I.
-do? . We are done for 1 Oh, Squire, it
ain't right for us to be nothin' to 'tother.
What shall I do?"
"-".Tell me where to go, Peggy ! Say
the' word-I'll go anywhere, for your
sake, if it's up the chimney."
"-Under the lounge, quick! It's wide,
and will-hold you well enough. Quick !
don't delay a minute !"
The Squire obeyed, but the space was
-already so well filled that it
,was with
difficulty he could squeeze himself into
- so small a compass. And just as he had
succeeded; Mr. Blake and his wife en
tered the room, floundering along in the
dark, for Peggy had deemed it best to
extinguish the light. Jake made for
the fire, which still glowed red with
coals, stumbled over a cricket, and fell
headlong:against Peggy, who was stand
ing. bolt • upright, trying to collect her
scattered senses.
"The deuce," cried Jake. " Look out
i ‘
there, old woman, br you'll be down on
rite'; • Naas dark as a pocket here, and
Vattrp.
isrellanenus.
I've fell over the rocking chair, or the
churn, I can't tell which. HuHuai—
What's that?" Reaching out his hand
to feel his situation, and coming in eon
tact with the bearded face of the Squire.
"
By it's got whiskers! Peg,
where are you? and where's Kate? and
what's all this mean ?"
The Squire did not relish the assault
made on his hirsute appendages, and,
by way of retaliation, he gave a series
of vigorous kicks, which hit Will Dart
mouth in •the region of the stomach,
and stirred his bile.
" Look here, old chap !" exclaimed he,
" I am perfectly willing to share my
quarters with you, seeing we're both in
for it; but you had better not undertake
to play that again." .
Heaviugs !" ejaculated Peggy.—
" Whose voice is that ?"
" Who in the deuce is here? that's
what I want to know 1" cried Jake, as
he struggled for an upright position.—
"Hello! who's fell over my legs?"
"11l let you know who's down, and
who's up !" said the voice of Mrs. Blake,
and the old lady scrambled up, only to
go instantly down again over a chair.
"Jake, where are you? Git up this
instant, and git a light, or I'll shake
your breath out, when I get on my feet
again."
Jake started to obey, and just then
Tiger, the watch dog, who, hearing the
uproar, had managed to break loose
from his cbsirt, rushed upon the scene,
and set up his best bow wow.
The Squire had a mortal horror of
dogs, and neither fear nor love was
strong enough to keep him quiescent
now. He sprang to his feet with a yell ;
Will followed. Katie, full of alarm for
her lover, hopped out of bed, and ap
peared with a flaming tallow dip. Peg
gy flung her arms around the Squire's
neck, with a cry of terror, and Jake
was silent with amazement. Mistress
Blake was the only one who possessed
her wits. She seized the corn popper,
and laid about her with vigor.
Her aim was not always correct, and,
in consequence, she smashed the look
ing glass into a thousand fragments,
knocked down the clock from the shelf,
and demolished two bowls and a pitcher
that were quietly reposing on the man
tel.
The Squire broke front Peggy's em
brace, and flashed out of the window.
Will followed, and Mrs. Blake .would
have - pursued him by. the same outlet,
but she was a little too large to get thro'
with ease. •
A dreadful council was tiolden ; Jake
stormed, Mrs. Blake threatened ; and at
last both Peggy and Katie confessed.—
And Jake and his wife were so rejoiced
at the prospect of getting rid of Peggy,
that they forgave their daughter, and
took Will Dartmouth home at the end
of the year.
' And hi due time, -Peggy and the Squire
were made one flesh.

my letters from " Post 'Of% Confedrit
X Roads?" Flez, there ben, ez yet, any
well authenticated case uv the removal
of a abolishonist, and the appointment
of a co.ustitooshunal Democrat in his
stead ? Not that, I hey herd uv. Per
contrary ' the Abolishunists—them as
was apinted by Linkin—are stillholdin
on ez calm ez a summer mornin, withot
any apparent fear uv a change affectin
them.
Who pays for the hails? Who pays
the music:' Who pays the powder?—
Dimocrats, who do these scent Post Of
fuses in the distance. Are they like the
war horse in Job'swritins, who smelled
the battle afar oft; and remarked Ha!
Hal to the trumpets? Let me entreat
rich that they cam make a better invest
ment uv their means.
The cost uv one meetin, put in corn
whisky, wood not only solace their
selves, but start half a dozen Abolish
unists on the road to Dimocrisy.
Men is deceptive. I hey hopes uv An
droo Johnson myself, and principally
because Vallandigum and Fernandy
Wood hey hopes. Them buzzards kan
smell carrin a long distance, and they
are seldom at fault. In this case they
may be. They base their hopes on John
son's speech at Washington, on the 22d.
There may be sumthin in it, but aint it
possible that the stench that they took
for Dimocrisy, and which they sposed
cum from Johnson, aris from them ez
surrounded him?
" But," sez a Dimocrat, whose nose,
from long-continued lack of surprise,
hez softened down from a generous crim
son to a ghastly blu, and who woodent
hey a small Post Offis at no price of it
wuznt offered him, `.` look at the class
he spoke to!'
IN hat noncents I Androo wuz mad.
There was a mass uv bile on his politi
kle stumick, which must be got rid uv;
lie had some nasty things to say—and it
was a part uv the eternal fitness uv all
things that he should hey a nasty audi
elate to say em to.
I dont propose to go off into spasms
over the present situashun. Johnson
proposes to contiuu the Freedman's Bu
ro, anti heznt no noshun of repealin the
test oath, or uv clrawin the military out
uv the Dimocratic States. So fat as is
hurd from, we uv the South is still in a
stait uv abject cussitood. Our habis cor
pusues which Linkin took away from
us havent ben returned, and we are to
git along ez best we kin without em. I
knocked down a small nigger yisterday
for the purpose uv assertin the superior
ity uv the Caucashun race over the Af
rikin, and wuz to wunst hauled up afore
a Freedman's Buro and fined. Our high
toned and chivalrous members are ex
cluded from Congris, on the frivolous
plea that they wuz kernels and briggy
deer ginerals in the Confederit servise,
and all these outragis agin Dimocrisy.
Androo Johnson, 1)y permittin, abso
lootly approves.
I could probably swaller all uv these
things. 1 am a Dimocrat uv thirty
years standin, and uv course hey bin on
both sides uv every politikle fence—the
seats uv my politikle pants is full uv
slivers. But before I take down these
things, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT
I Alti GOING TO GIT FOR IT. Ef
Androo Johnson goes back On his party
and his pledges, he uv course asks us to
go back on ourn. In sich transactions,
when both parties by bein engaged in it
at all, confess themselves ruther a low
grade of scoundrels, I think it well enufy
to hey the considerashun paid down.
Ef Androo Johnson 'wants me he
knows the terms. lam his to command,
for a consideration, ez much so ez is the
thousands'uy Dimocrats who hey been
for the pakt week gettin up demonstra
shuns. But I want sumthin to go on.
When I hey his permishun under the
broad reel uv the Post Offis Department
to write "P. AI," after my illustrious
name, I shall be prepared to wade in.—
I hey ben huntin up several reasons for
supportin him—l hey em all ready—l
only want this additional one, and then
I fling my banner to the breeze. Faith
is said to be the sun of all religious sys

Well, this yer Smiley had rat terriers,
and chicken cocks, and torn cats, and all
them kind of things, till you hadn't no
thing for him to bet on but he'd match
you. He ketched a frog one day and
took him home, and said he calculated
to educate him; and so he never done
nothing for three months but set in his
back yard and learn his frdg to jump.
And you can bet he did leitOn him, too.
He'd give him a little hunch behind,
and the nest minute you'd See that frog
whirling in the air like a doughnut—see
him turn one summerset, or may be a
couple if he got a good start, and come
down flat footed and all right, like a
cat. He got him up so in the matter of
catching flies, and kept him in practice
so constant, that he'd nail a fly every
time as far as he could see him. Smiley
said all a frog wanted was education,
and he could do most anything—and I
believe him.
- Why, I've seen him set Daniel Web
ster down here on this floor—Daniel
Webster was the name of the frog—and
sing out, " Flies, Daniel, flies," and
quicker'n you, could wink, he'd spring
straight up, take a fly off the counter
there, and flop down on the floor again
as solid as a gob of mud, and fall to
scratching the side of his head with his
hind foot as indifferent as if he had no
idea he'd done any more than a frog
might do. You never see a frog so mod
est and straightforward as he was. And
when it come to a fair and square jump
ing on a dead level, he could get over
more ground than any of the breed you
ever see. 'Jumping on a dead level was
his stronghold, you understand, and
when it come to that, Smiley would an
te up money on him as long as he had a
red. Smiley was monstrous proud of
his frog, and well he might be, for fel
lers that had traveled and been every
where said he laid over any frog that
they ever see.
Well, Smiley kept the beast in a little
lattice box, and he used to fetch him
down town sometimes and lay for a bet.
One day a feller—a stranger in the camp
he was—come across him with his box,
and says:
" What might it be that you've got in
the box?"
And Smiley says, sorter indifferent
like, " It might be a parrot, or it might
be a canary, maybe, but it ain't—it's
only just a frog."
And the feller took it, and looked at
it carefully, turned it round this way
and that, and says, "Hem—so Ids.—
`.` Well, what's he good for ?"
" "Well," Smiley says, easy and care
less, he's good enough for one thing,
I should judge—he can out-jump any
frog in Calaveras county."
The feller took the box again, and took
anotherlong, particular look, and gave
it back to Smiley, and says very delibe
rately, "Well, I don't see no points
about that frog that's any better than
any other frog."
' Maybe you don't," Smiley says.—
" Maybe you understand frogs, and may
be you don't understand 'em; maybe
you've had experience ; and maybe you
in't only a amateur, as it were. Al
ways, I've got my opinion, and I'll risk
forty dollars that he can out-jump any
frog in Calaveras county."
And the feller studied a minute, and
then says, kinder sad like, " Well, I'm
only a stranger here, and if I had a frog
I'd bet you."
And then Smiley says, " That's all
right—that's all right ; if you'll hold
my box a minute. I'll go and get you a
frog ;" and the feller took the box and
put his forty dollars along with Smiley's
and set down to wait.
So he set there a good while, thinking
and thinking to himself, and then he
got the frog out and pried his mouth
open, and took a teaspoon and filled•
him full of quail shot—filled him pretty
near to the chin—and set 'him on the
floor ; Smiley he went out to the swamp
and slopped around in the mud for a
long time, and finally he ketched a frog
and fetched him in and gave him to this
feller, and says :
" Now, you're ready, set him along
side of Daniel, with his forepaws just
even with Daniel's:, and I'll • give the
word."
Then he says, " One—twe—three—
jump !" and him and the feller touched
up the frogs from behind, and the new
frog hopped off lively, but Daniel gave
a heave, and hysted up his shoulders—
so—like a Frenchman ; but 'twasn't no
use—he couldn't budge; he was planted
as solid as an anvil, and he could no
_more stir than if he was anchored out.
Smiley was a good deal surprised, and
he was ,disgusted too, but he didn't have
no idea what the matter was, of course.
The feller took the money and started
away ; and when he was going out of
the door, he sorter jerked his thumb
over his shoulder—this way—at Daniel,
and says again, very deliberate, " Well,
I don't see no points about that frog
that's any better than any other frog."
Smiley, he stood scratching his head
and looking down on Daniel a long
time; at last lie says, "I do wonder
what in the nation that frog throwed
off for ; I wonder if there ain't some
thing the matter with him; he 'pears
to look mighty boggy, somehoNt," and
he ketched Daniel by the nape of the
neck and lifted him up, and says,
" Why, blame my cats, if he don't
weigh tire pounds," and turned him
upside down, and he belched out about
a double handful of shot. And then he
see how it was, and he was the maddest
man. He set the frog down, and took
out after that feller, but he never ketched
him.
He that cannot forgive others, breaks
the bridge over which he must pass him
self; for every man has need to be for
give n.

That warm air must be impure, and
that, consequently, it is hurtful to sleep
in a comparatively warm room. A warm
room is as easily ventilated as a cool
one. The warm air of a close vehicle is
less injurious, be it ever so foul from
crowding, than to ride and sit still and
feel uncomfortably cold for an hour:—
The worst that can happen from a
crowded conveyance is a Eng spell;
while, from sitting. even less than an
hour in a still, chilly atmosphere, has
induced attacks of pneumonia, that is,
inflammation of the lungs, which often
proves fatal in three or four days. 1' is
always positively injurious to sleep in a
close room where water freezes; such a
degree of cold causes the negatively poi
sonous carbonic acid gas of a sleeping
room to settle near, the floor, where it is
breathed and re-breathed by the sleeper,
and is capable of producing typhoid fe
vers in a few hours. Hence, there is no
advantage, and always danger,especiall7
to weakly persons, in sleeping in an at
mosphere colder than the freezing point.
That it is necessary to the proper and
efficient - ventilation of a room, even in
warm weather, that a window or door
should be left open. This is always
hazardous to the sick and convalescent.
Quite as safe a plan of ventilation, and
as efficient, is to keep a lamp or a small
fire burning in the fireplace. This cre
ates a draft, and carries bad airs and
gases up the chimney.
That out-door exercise before break
-fast is healthful. It is never so. And,.
from the vary nature of things, is hurt
ful, especially to persons of poor health
—although the very vigorous may prac
tice it with impunity. In winter the
body is easily chilled through and thro',
unless the stomach has been fortified
with a good warm breakfast • and in
warm weather, miasmatic and malari
ous gases and emanations speedily , act
upon the empty and weak stomach in a
way to vitiate the circulation, and in
duce fever and ague, diarrhea and dys
entery. Entire families, who have ar
ranged to eat breakfast before leaving
the house, and to take supper before
sundown, have had a complete exemp
tion from fever and ague, while the
whole community around them wail suf
fering from it, from having neglected
these precautions.
That whatever lessens cough is "good"
for it, and, if persevered in, will cure it.
On the contrary, all coughs are soonest
cured by promoting and increasing
them ; because nature endeavors by the
cough to help bring up the phlegm and
yellow matter which is in the lungs, as
the lungs cannot heal while thatmatter
is there. And as it cannot be got rid of
without coughing, the more coughing
there- is the sooner it is got rid of—the
sooner are the lungs cleared out, for the
fuller and freer reception of pure air,
which is their natural food. The only
remedies which can do any good in
coughs, are such as loosen the phlegm,
and thus less cough is required to bring
it up. These remedies are warmth, out
door exercise, and anything which nau
seates slightly.—Hall's Jour. of Health.
At the " Crow Inn," at Antwerp,
some years ago, a white spectre was
seen, bearing a lamp in one hand and a
bunch of keys in the other. This un
pleasant visitor was seen by a variety of
travelers, passing along the corridor.
Nothing would satisfy the neighbors
that an unfortunate traveler had not
been at some period or other dispatched
in that fatal room by one of the previ
ous landlords. The hotel gradually ob
tained the name of the " Haunted Inn,"
and. ceased to be frequented by its old
patrons.
The landlord finding himself on the
brink of ruin, determined to sleep in
the room, with a view to proving the
groundlessness of the story. To make the
matter more sure, as he said, he caused
the hcistler to bear him company, on
pretence of requiring a witness to the
absUrdity of the report; but in reality
from cowardice. At dead of night,
however, just as the two men were corn
poking themselves• to sleep in one bed,
leaving another which was in the room
untenanted, the door flew open and in
glided the white specter.
Without pausing to ascertain what it
.might attempt, on a.pptoaching the bed,
towards which it directed its course, the
two men rushed frightened and naked
from the room ; and by the alarm they
created, confirmed more fully than ever
the evil repute of the house.
Unable any longer to sustain the cost
of so unproductive an establishment,
the poor landlord advertised for sale the
house in which he and his father before
him were born and passed their lives.
But bidders were as rare as customers ;
the inn remained for sale for nearly a
year, during which, from time to time,
the specter re-appeared.
At length an officer of the garrison,
who had. formerly frequented the house,
moved to compassion in favor of the
poor host, undertook to clear up the
mystery by sleeping in the aforesaid
chamber; nothing doubting that the
whole was a trick of some envious neigh
bor, desirous of deteriorating the value
of the freehold in order to become a pur
chaser.
His offer having been gratefully ac
cepted, the captain took up his head
quarters in the fatal room, with a bottle
of wine and a brace of loaded pistols on
the table before him, determined to fire
at whatever object might enter the
room. • .
At the usual hour of midnight, accor
dingly, when the door flew open and the
white specter, bearing- a lamp and a
bunch of keys, made. its appearance, he
seized both of his pistols, when, fortu
nately, as his finger was on the point of
touching the trigger, he perceived that
the apparition was no. other than the
daughter of his host, a young and pretty
girl, evidently walking in her sleep.—
Preserving the strictest silence, he saw
her set down the lamp, place her keys
carefully on the mantel piece, and retire
to the opposite bed, which, as it after
wards proved, she had occupied during
the lifetime of her late mother, who
slept in the room.
iV o sooner had she thoroughly com
posed herself, than the officer, after lock
ing the door ofthe room, went in search
of her father, and several competent
witnesses, including the water bailiff of
the district, who had been one of the
loudest in circulating the rumors con
cerning the Haunted =nn. The poor
girl was found quietly asleep in bed,
and her terror on awaking in the dread
ful chamber, afforded sufficient evidence
to all present of the state of somnambu
lism in which she had been entranced.
From that period the specter was seen
nomore, probably because the landlord's
daughter removed shortly afterwards to
